I had a similar deal when I was looking for another Busa. I found an ad in the local newspaper for a show busa for only $3600. The bike is obviously worth at least 3 times that much. I called the guy and he told me he was from NY, but he had gone to the UK and gotten into some trouble. He wanted me to go thru Square Trade.com to send the payment. I followed his link to the escow site. At the end of the transaction, it tells me to western union him the amount. So, appearently he had made his own Square trade site. Needless to say after I emailed him a little "I'm on to you, buddy" message, I never heard back from him. The pictures he had sent me turned up to be of a bike that was actually for sale on ebay at that time.
